Health in Namibia: Progress and Challenges

This book provides a comprehensive view of health services in Namibia for the period 1995 to 1999, using data from the Namibia Health Information System. Chapters include an introduction to the health system, a survey of Namibia’s population; issues of access and utilization of water, sanitation, and health facilities; the prevalence and burden of disease for outpatients, inpatients, and mortality; the four priorities of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and maternal and child care; twelve additional maladies; and national and regional profiles. Because of full-color maps and graphics, each chapter is separated into a downloadable pdf file. [author’s description]
